"Unseen. Just to clarify . I feel you are looking at morality back to front. As yes we can define a moral system into existence without consideration of its purpose. But then it becomes little more than abstract nonsense."…"

Graham replied to Ron Humphrey's discussion 'insane comment following tornadoes in Oklahoma'"Happy to clarify, GM - thanks for passing the baton back!
"The point of prayer is not that it changes God, or changes the world.
The point is that it changes you."
If it's not supposed to change a god, why do it in the form of…"
Katie McCranie replied to Katie McCranie's discussion 'It Can Be Smothering At Times'"That's why I work in a field where it is best that you remain out of the "spot-light"....I am in the Asset Recovery field....better known as repossessions. =) No need to have personal discussions...mainly because I am in my car all…"

"@Holo:
Ha! That's definitely an article/headline worthy of The Onion."
Holo Gram replied to Holo Gram's discussion 'Does every living animal have a consciousness?'"I agree. Suppose my dr tells me that I have six more months to live, then I have six more months to worry about dying. But if I didn't know that, then I would have six more months to happily punch out more characters on my computer. :o)"
Gallup's Mirror replied to Ron Humphrey's discussion 'insane comment following tornadoes in Oklahoma'"That's not what Frank says, Bob. He just nixed your prayers of courtesy. Frank says prayer enables Jesus to work miracles. Not little touchy-feely changes in you. Miracles, Bob!
He just said so during his homily at Mass on May 20 at Casa Santa…"

Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
